Design Shines at MPD

A hip New York restaurant with a sophisticated Parisian vibe

Amid the flashy clubs and high-end boutiques of Manhattan's meatpacking district, nightlife impresarios Derek and Daniel Koch have opened MPD (short for Mon Petit Déjeuner), an elegant restaurant whose decor evokes a Parisian bistro. Classic dishes, such as jumbo lump crab cake and Bordeaux braised short ribs, and some not so classic—lobster omelettes—courtesy of chef Geoff Rudaw, are served in a swank setting with tufted suede banquettes, walls hung with black-and-white celebrity portraits, and floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto the sidewalk. Even though its namesake meal is not yet available, the beautiful space and beautiful food—not to mention beautiful people—make it well worth a trip for dinner or a late night snack.
